An animal struck and killed on Ontario Highway

This morning, I heard in the news that an animal was struck and killed on Hwy 10 in the Orangeville area.
This is nothing special. Many animals are killed by cars each year.
However, this is an special animal... Can you guess what is this animal?
(Do not peek at the answer before guessing!!)


















Answer:
A Kangaroo hopped away from an exotic pet farm in the Orangeville area. It was struck and killed on Highway 10 north of the town near Highway 89 a short time later.

This was the first incident of a kangaroo highway fatality in the area, though deer, moose, fox, raccoons, wild turkeys, sheep, dogs and cats are frequently hit on roads in the region.
